In a strange turn of events, Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty will be appearing on a U.K. TV show to help kids who are battling heroin addiction. What the hell? Was Amy Whinehouse not available?

The 28-year-old musician has been battling addiction to heroin, among other drugs, himself, but he hopes that his own experiences might offer some inspiration. "Pete really hopes to be able to use his own experiences to help these youths," a source told U.K. magazine Female First. "Hopefully they will be inspired by his visit."

Doherty will be visiting Manchester's Langley Estate and Sheffield's Manor Park in northern England to offer his advice.
